Description
Through speculative fiction, five interconnected stories explore the potential realities of our climate future. As extreme weather events become increasingly common, it's clear that catastrophe is a possibility. However, we still have options for shaping our collective future. Our Shared Storm employs a unique approach to exploring possible outcomes, combining fiction and nonfiction to create a set of scenarios based on climate modeling. The book presents five overlapping narratives, each set in the year 2054, during the Conference of the Parties global climate negotiations in Buenos Aires. These stories highlight the political, economic, and cultural possibilities of futures where investments in climate adaptation and mitigation have been successfully completed, kicked down the road, or abandoned altogether. By presenting these different scenarios, Our Shared Storm encourages us to consider the choices we must make to stabilize the planet.
